Well, I am not a big fan of clown horror but I think the original IT has successfully turned a happy/peaceful clown to a new horror icon since those times, and this idea seems to have been used in later horror movies/video games.

I haven't watched the new IT yet...........perhaps after watching the new IT I come again to tell you which series I would like better........

Pennywise isn't a clown, it's a cosmic ancient being, older than the Universe itself. The King's book is like smoking weed, pretty weird and absurd. Curry's portrayal isn't so much accurate, but pretty decent. Skarsgaard's Pennywise have a cool suit, medieval dark. I don't like so much King's horror (prefer Lovecraft) but the idea of an superior being who search for people's deepest fears is not so bad.

I know the story and read the book in 1989 Edwardusk friend, for me is a great cliché of King the book and the tv movie is...AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and yep Lovercraft is much better!!
